Matthew Leyland BBC.com Duelist turns from playful to precious in the last 30-odd minutes, straggling towards a prancey showdown that's as graceful as all get-out but as cold as the endless falling snow. Rated: 2/5 Mar 8, 2007 Full Review Trevor Johnston Time Out Clearly, Lee has an extraordinary eye, but wilful self-indulgence leads him astray here. Mar 8, 2007 Full Review Helen O'Hara Empire Magazine Proof positive that Wushu and Chan don't mix, this aims to create a new crossover genre but falls between two stools. Rated: 2/5 Nov 30, 2006 Full Review Anton Bitel musicOMH.com as much a quirkily combative love story, or a kaleidoscopic reverie on the shifting seasons, as a piece of period police procedural. Rated: 4/5 Jun 15, 2007 Full Review Josh Ralske All Movie Guide ...its most salient feature is its spectacular visuals. Rated: 7/10 Aug 5, 2006 Full Review Coco Forsythe Future Movies UK Rated: 4/10 Sep 9, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member The best Korean movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member A couple amazing scenes but tends flat on the whole. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie may not be for everyone. The director deliberately plays with the concept of 'film'. How he manipulates the soundtrack and the editing clearly shows the director's humourous side. The film thus becomes more of a theatrical production, each scene could have also been the background on a theatre-stage. For experimenting with what film can do, I give this movie a positive rating! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member ppl either hate it or love it. I love it. best fighting scenes I've ever seen. better watch times and times after. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Style over substance, certainly, technically rivetting for the first twenty minutes, followed by the remainder of a mediocre storyline. Still pretty to watch and then move on. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member the ending took my breath away when i have to say when it wasn't breathtaking it was funny lol Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
